I've not yet looked at that messages, however:
Direct invocations of __const_udelay (see include/asm-i386/delay.h) are still
broken with the below patch IMHO, since you do not multiply the value passed
there by that magic constant - look also at arch/i386/lib/delay.c. Please try
if the attached patch works for you. Also, a number of other users complained
about the same bug (hangs on shutdown result for device-mapper users in some
particular conditions, for instance).

Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
